CSCMP’s Educators' Conference is now called the Academic Research Symposium (ARS). Held annually in conjunction with CSCMP's annual conference, now known as CSCMP EDGE, this event has earned a prominent reputation with many academics, as it is an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues and share new research for discussion and feedback. The ARS is proudly considered the premier event for research in supply chain management and logistics (SCML), and is an open event created to bring scholars from all disciplines into the SCML discussion.

The 2017 symposium will embrace research from all areas of business connected to SCML. The Conference Committee is excited to facilitate an event that will examine the past, present, and future innovations that continue to advance the discipline.
